I have a 2020 Qualified Disaster amount and have completed form 8915 but this 1/3 for 2021 is not being transferred to my 1040 line 4B.
How can I get this done?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You must go to the Retirement Income section of the program for a Form 1099-R to be able to enter your 2nd year of the 2020 distribution -
Click on Federal
Click on Wages & Income
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click on the Start or Revisit button
On the screen Did you get a 1099-R in 2021? Click on NO, if you did not receive a 2021 Form 1099-R in 2022
Answer Yes when asked Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2021?
Answer Yes when asked if you took a Qualified 2020 Disaster Distribution
Check the box that this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020
In the box 2020 Form 8915-E, line 4, column b - Leave blank or enter a 0
This is not required on a Form 8915-F for a Coronavirus-related distribution
If the 2020 distribution was from an account that was Not an IRA
Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 9
2020 Form 8915E, line 9, if you checked the box on that line, enter 0
2020 Form 8915E Line 9
If the 2020 distribution was from an IRA account
Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 17
2020 Form 8915E, line 17, if you checked the box on that line, enter 0
2020 Form 8915E Line 17
Do not enter anything in the other boxes, leave them blank (empty) or enter a 0
The 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution will be entered on the 2021 Form 1040 Line 4b if from an IRA or on Line 5b if from a retirement plan other than an IRA
After completing the Wages & Income section you will land on a screen Did you take a disaster distribution at any time between 2018 and 2020?
Answer NO since you have already completed the entering the 1/3 of the 2020 distribution.

I have completed this step numerous times and the amount is still not being \transferred over to the 1040.
Not sure what else to do at this time.

So there is no amount entered on your Form 1040 on either Line 4b or Line 5b?
Did you enter the amount of the distribution in both boxes as requested in the procedure?
If the 2020 distribution was from an account that was Not an IRA
Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 9
2020 Form 8915E, line 9, if you checked the box on that line, enter 0
2020 Form 8915E Line 9
If the 2020 distribution was from an IRA account
Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 17
2020 Form 8915E, line 17, if you checked the box on that line, enter 0
2020 Form 8915E Line 17
I got, were not entering the amount in both lines.
Thank You very much for your assistance
